Yeah, brilliant little creature, isn’t it. Tony caught sight of it as he was going out for his walk! It was looking in through the (ahem) conservatory (otherwise Glassed Repository of Stuff) – I tried to capture the frog’s reflection in the glass in the photographs I took outside but it didn’t really show up. But lovely to have these creatures in the garden. They are there all the time but we don’t usually catch sight of them.

About

I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.
